Slippery's

Originally just a shack for beer, bait & burgers, Slippery's was made famous by the movies " Grumpy Old Men" & " Grumpier Old Men". Taking their usual liberties with reality, Hollywood named the bait shop " Chuck's Bait Shop ", (in memory of Wabasha's former chief of police because he was such a regular customer), and Slippery's Tavern was placed elsewhere in town. The existing facility dated back to 1979 when the original shack burned down, and Slippery & Gladys rebuilt the resort with boat rentals and a gas dock. Slippery was an avid fisherman who was a legend in town, known for his quick wit, and knowledge of every good fishing hole in the area, and believe me his legend has continued to grow with every story that has been told about him since his death in 1992.
